But al last a message from on high il

Benefit for Miss Sarah Beach,
Many of our people know and others
will regret to learn that Miss Sarah
Beach is still in quite i'll health at the
home of a friend in Cleveland. A large
number of pupils in Toledo and Perrys-
burg who have profited by her persever-
ance and skill as teacher in music,
and many other friends in both towns
who know of her brave and energetic
struggles thus far in life's journey, are
making arrangements for a musical en-
tertainment at the Town Hall, Perrys-
burg, for her benefit, on next Thursday
evening. The admission will be 25 cts,
and the hall should be crowded. Buy a
ticket whether you can go or not.

The Cid and New Year.

Old Father Tme-the Chronicler of Eterni
ty-has finished the last chapter in the book
OF 1887, and its record has now gone to the
inusty tones of the past Like all of its pre-
decessofs, its calendar of events has been
marked with situations more or less dramatic,
now tragical then comieal. now grave then
humorous, now s0rrowfal then gay, forming o
plot which required the world as its stage, all
nature as its scenery and all nations as the
drdDsdtis persona, to bring it to the grand cli-
max destined in its closing act The old year
will now be reyerentiy laid away in the tomb
of ages, and while we will ever cherish the
sad memories which cluster around its histo
ry, yet we cannot remain forever at the grave
of departed joys, and mourn over sorrows that
time should heal, and allow the heart to catch
some gladness from the dawning scenes of the
New Year.
Yes, every one has part to net in the OPEN
ing drama of another year. Where we failed
in our repertoire of the last year, we must
strive to correct all such errors and follies as
the criticism of friendly conscience may
have pointed out TO us, and ii possible elicit
commendation, where, before, We were in
fault and merited disappreval from our better
judgments. There are none, however we'll
/ they may haye done in the past, but may i'm
prove in the future. There are none perfect /;
none without faults of some kind aud while,
at the beginning of u New Year, we cast the
mantle OF charity over each others follies
! and extend the generous greeting of ia happy
and prosperous New Year let us all resolve
/ to try and be better in the future.
